Dear Blogger (aka Blogspot),

We've been together for awhile. I started blogging with you back in 2001 when you were the cool one to hang with. You offered me flexibility with design, allowing me to customize my own templates using HTML, unlike those others, like LiveJournal and Xanga (Oh goodness! Remember them? We used to laugh at them so much!).

You were good to me. You saw me through my angst of high school, my confusion of college, and my overall development into the woman I am today. I've probably shared more with you than I'd like to admit. Those posts are pretty embarrassing, aren't they? I suppose it's a necessary component of that growth I mentioned earlier.

But, I've changed. Perhaps it's my 20-something desire for constant change, that even just creating a new blog within Blogger isn't enough. I need a new domain name.

Already, the transition with Wordpress has been hard. I've debated moving my stuff in with him, but a part of me feels like I need to keep my life with you archived with you. It just doesn't seem right. Is that weird? I was hoping he'd make it easier for me to have that spiffy, magazine-style design that you seem incapable of, but he's not. But, I think it's going to be worth the effort.

I'm sorry I can't stay with you and try to make these changes with you.
It's probably best for the both of us that I just move on while we can both find better partners for the future.

Love always,
t

P.S. You can reach me at http://lotsix.wordpress.com in case you ever want to connect again. I'll miss you.
